...Hi, just bounced here from googling oxford heels.<br />But, being a shoemaker myself, I wanted to fix some terminology :)<br />Top picture: Has an oxford cut, but is actually called half brogue, due to the traditional decorative perforations throughout. A full brogue is similar but the toe cap is shaped like wings. The straight toe cap cut makes it a half brogue. One can also just call them plain 'brogues'<br /><br />The B/W & W/Pink: These are actually called 'saddle shoes', which are another fine examples of adapting classic men's models to high heels.<br /><br />The lace heels & the last picture: The cut is called 'derby', which differs from oxford that the lacing parts go over the vamp. In oxford they go under the vamp, and in a saddle shoe, the breast/lacing has it's own individual piece all together which goes over both the vamp and the quarters.<br /><br />It's a pity that even the shoe sellers don't know these traditional terms, and I've seen many eStores selling heels with wrong terminology.Otso Mäensivuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12393603837339170011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294371214525149505.post-8124285320144858792011-10-09T18:52:07.982-07:002011-10-09T18:52:07.982-07:00The first pair are from J.
